Market environment

  • The Fed raised rates by 25 bps to 4%, maintaining a clearly hawkish stance. Economic activity remains very resilient, with 162k jobs created in August with a stable unemployment rate at 4.1%.
  • US inflation remains elevated at 3.4%, while core inflation is accelerating on a month-on-month basis. Higher energy prices could spill over more broadly across the economy and maintain pressure on the Fed.
  • The ECB raised its deposit rate by 25 bps to 2.5%. European economic activity remains resilient, with the composite PMI rising to 53.2 in September. However, the acceleration in headline inflation to 3.3% in August suggests that further monetary tightening may be warranted in the coming months.
  • The Bank of Japan raised rates by 25 bps to 1.25%, while the rise in Tokyo headline inflation to 2.7% could also support the case for further monetary tightening ahead.
  • The rates environment was highly volatile in September, with the US 2-year yield rising by 55 bps, compared with a 26bps increase for its German counterpart. Long-term yields were not spared, with the US 10-year yield climbing by 53 bps, versus 26 bps for the German 10-year yield.
  • French government bonds also came under significant pressure, with the OAT-Bund spread widening by 40 bps over the month, reflecting market concerns over the country’s fiscal trajectory and a deteriorating political backdrop ahead of a new presidential election.
  • In FX, the US dollar strengthened against the euro, supported by resilient US activity and a more hawkish Federal Reserve backdrop. The Japanese yen also appreciated, helped by the Bank of Japan’s rate hike. Emerging-market currencies were more mixed overall, with the Brazilian real holding up better while currencies such as the Mexican peso, Hungarian forint and South African rand came under pressure.

Performance commentary

  • In this context, the Fund delivered a positive performance, supported primarily by currency and interest-rate strategies.
  • On rates, performance was positive overall. Short positions in US Treasuries and French government bonds contributed positively as sovereign yields moved higher, while our long exposure to German rates detracted.
  • Emerging-market rates detracted slightly, mainly due to the underperformance of Hungarian local rates.
  • Credit strategies made a negative contribution overall. Developed-market credit detracted, particularly financials, while hard-currency emerging-market sovereign debt was the main drag. These losses were partly offset by gains from our credit protection positions.
  • Currency strategies were the main positive contributor over the month. Long positions in the Japanese yen, US dollar and Brazilian real all contributed positively.

Outlook strategy

  • Against a backdrop of persistent inflation, resilient growth, heavy sovereign financing needs, rising AI-related investment and tight credit spreads, the portfolio remained selectively and cautiously positioned. Modified duration stood at 4.45 at the end of September, slightly lower over the month. The portfolio continued to combine a short bias on long-end US rates, long European rates, long inflation positions, limited US dollar exposure and selective exposure to emerging-market currencies and credit.
  • Interest rates & inflation: We remain short long-end US Treasuries, as resilient activity, persistent inflation, large fiscal deficits and significant financing needs continue to put upward pressure on long-term yields. We also maintain long breakeven inflation positions. In Europe, we remain long German rates while retaining a short position in France, alongside a cautious stance on UK rates. Emerging-market local rates remain selective, with an increasing preference for Central and Eastern European markets.
  • Spread products: We maintain selective exposure to hard-currency emerging-market debt, notably in Romania, Hungary, Egypt and Argentina, alongside selected corporate credit. With valuations remaining tight, substantial iTraxx Xover protection is maintained to hedge against a potential widening in credit spreads.
  • Currencies: We maintain limited exposure to the US dollar and a long bias towards the euro. We continue to favor high-carry emerging-market currencies, notably the Brazilian real, Chilean peso and South African rand, as well as selected commodity-linked currencies. We also retain a long position in the Japanese yen, supported by expectations of further Bank of Japan monetary normalization amid persistent inflationary pressures.
